My Very First

I wanted my first diary entry to be extra special. I am still in seventh heaven after my fellow dogsters chose me to be a royal dog of the week. It is such an exhiliarating experience. I am so humbled to be selected from so many wonderful prince charmings in the group of royal princess divas and prince charmings. There is no greater honor than to be selected by your peers when I have only been on dogster a short time. I didn't know what all the excitement was about when my human mom started screaming joyfully, "Rex has been chosen royal dog of the week!" I thought my mom was going to jump out of the chair and run to get my dad...which would have been a physical feat since mom has to wear a full length brace on her right leg and use a walker to help her get around for the rest of her life. My dogster pals have made my furever family and me so happy that we will cherish this honor forever. I might be prince charming for the week, but I feel like I am King of the world and that I am so loved. What a great life I now have. Thanks fellow dogsters. Mi Amor to all!

Today was an unseasonably warm day in the high 60's. Mom decided to take me for a walk, but it is debatable as to whom was walking who...hehe! You see mom has a full leg brace on her right leg and has to use a walker to ambulate with. So, I pulled mom along and waited on her to catch up. We walked down past 3 houses to the corner and turned back because I didn't want to wear mom out. Mom has to learn that I have to stop and smell things and mark my territory, but otherwise we did good for our first time out together. Since I did such a good job, when we got home, mom shared her sugar cookies with me and later in the evening gave me french vanilla ice cream. I can't wait until the weather gets more better and we can go on more walks together.

The rules are that each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

1. I love my Mom and Dad.
2. I have two beautiful daughters named Lola and Izzie.
3. I love my girl friend Shorty on Dogster
4. My favorite toys are my Santa Claus, red rabbit, and gorilla.
5. My favorite ice cream is French Vanilla.
6. I get to go to visit my hooman brother in Westerville, OH 4 times a year and love to ride in the car. I also get to visit my daughters and their mother
7. I enjoy having so many dogster friends and making more friends.

Doggie Love Tag Game
July 18th 2007
Here's where ya pick three good pups ya like and tell why. I got tagged by Willey Tucker and my girlfriend, Shorty. You can also give them a rosette, if you have any.

I chose to retap Willey Tucker since he is the greatest boss overseeing Dog Park PlayGround and Pawty Place and he is my friend.

I chose my girlfriend, Shorty, because we communicate every day and share our lives and she makes me smile by calling me Sexy Rexy.

I also chose Charito, a beautiful gal, from Argentina, who has become my friend.

It wasn't too long ago that my pawrents were contacted by the people that own the mother of my two daughters and they were told they were going to sell my one daughter. They wanted to know if my pawrents could take her, but unfortunately, due to their ages and health problems, they couldn't take on another pup and the expense to care for that pup in the manner they have taken care of me. So, there was much sadness that we would not see my one daughter ever again. Mom and dad said that if they were only younger and in better health, they would have taken her in a heart beat. Well, when we came to visit my pawrents' son for Christmas, the woman that rescued me told us that my daughter isn't being sold and that if the owners don't want her, that she would take my daughter since she has my other daughter. We all were so happy to learn that our beloved Izzie is still going to be with the family and that I will get to continue to see my girls, Lola and Izzie. That is the most wonderful Christmas present I could have ever had and I am so over joyed! This truly is the best Christmas present ever!

What a day this has been for me...I learned that my friend, Hershey, is expecting and being the gentleman that I am, I asked her to escort me to the Dog Park PlayGround and Pawty Place first ever Valentine's Day Ball since she has been looking for a date; and now, I get Valentine Tagged by Maggie and have to list 5 things that I want and tag 5 more to play the game.

1. The first thing I want is for all the pups and kitties that want Valentine's Day dates to be able to get a date.
2. Next, I want Hershey to have a safe pregnancy and delivery and for all her puppies to be born healthy.
3. I want Odie's (Odysseus, our administrator) for his mother to get well and not have any more relapses with her illness.
4. I'm hoping that the Dog Park PlayGround and Pawty Place's Valentine Day Ball is a huge success and all the pups have a wonderful time.
5. I want to thank God for bringing me to my furever home and giving me my furever family.

Name four jobs you have:
1) Comedian and Entertainer...I've got to keep everybody laughing with my antics.
2) Stud...I had to romance another Chi and get her to accept my amorous ways and we produced two beautiful females named Lola and Izzie, our daughters, who are the light of my eyes.
3) Detective...I don't miss anything that comes into this house and I investigate it thoroughly. If I don't approve, I bark until it goes away!
4)Medical Assistant to Mom...I'm like a hound dog on mom ever since she developed her medical problem. I keep her from getting depressed by cuddling with her and giving her nose licks (not that she pawticularly enjoys my tongue going up her nose). Hey, mom, that's true love. You haven't been kissed until you get nose licked (BOL)!

Name four places where you have lived(or stayed at)
1) Some where in Texas where my pawrents birthed me.
2) PETSMART...they shipped me off to the Home of the Buckeyes and for any of you not familiar with OSU that's in OHIO.
3) Columbus/Westerville, OH...I was rescued from a divorcing family that didn't want me and kept until I got my furever home.
4) Niles, Ohio, which is where my furever home is now...and I hate the snow in Ohio!

Name 4 places that you have been:
1) Some place in Texas
2) Columbus/Westerville OH
3) Niles, OH
4) All along Route 46, Interstate 76, and Interstate 71...back and forth, back and forth.

Name 4 places you would rather be:
1) In the living room on the couch when mom and dad go out instead of shut in the bathroom with my blanket, toys, and food.
2) Being treated like a member of the family and going with mom and dad wherever they go somewhere together. After all, I know I'm hooman, but they haven't figured it out, yet.
3) In the car with dad when he goes shopping by himself since mom is in a right full leg brace and has to use a walker to get around.
4) Right where I am instead of with the family that didn't want me!

Today dad had to run some errands and decided to take me along. When he went to get a store circular and was coming back to the car to read it, his pant pockets were empty and his keys were missing. I knew where the keys were - sitting right in the ignition where he left them. Now, he had a real problem because he couldn't open the door without the keys and he couldn't call any one because the cell phone was also in the car. And, of course, I can't help being a little chi because no one ever taught me how to open the car door or retrieve the keys. Poor dad...he found a police man, who told dad that they are no longer allowed to help open car doors. Dad asked people if they had a hanger that he could have and someone finally gave him one. I'm just sitting there observing this new game of dad trying to get the lock up with the hanger. Finally, an older man came along, who I wasn't so sure about. I barked at him for being by my dad and my car, but dad told me it was okay, so, now, I'm watching two old men try to get the lock pulled up and Yippee, they finally did so that my dad could get back into the car with me. So, all ends well and it even gets better because after dad looked at the store circular, he went back into the store and bought ice cream. I guess he thought that I was such a good boy even though I couldn't help him unlock the car.

Wow! Never did I think I would ever be chosen by Dogster for my Diary Entry, so, I'm jumping for joy and spinning around. Thanks Dogster! I didn't think that being locked in dad's car was such a big ordeal since I was all comfy and dad was the one locked out of the car! Good thing the weather was good and dad just had to try to get the door open. My dad is my superhero and even more so since he not only got the door open, but my diary got picked!

Today dad said he was going to a couple of stores while mom was finishing slicing up the ham. I was there making sure I got my belly full of ham while my radar ears were listening intently to what was being said. Dad starts putting on his better clothes and I became his shadow sticking closely to his feet. Dad starts complaining that I won't leave him alone and that he wasn't taking me. Well, they don't call me D-O-G for nothing...I'm Determined, Obinstinate, and Going to get my way (BOL)! Mom just sits there cutting the ham, smiling, and listening to dad say that he can't get away from me and she tells dad, "Who is the master and who is the dog?" Dad tells mom he just can't win and picks of my leash! Yippee and off to the car we go! You see, you can teach your human who is in charge. I'd say that I MASTERED THAT SITUATION quite well!
